The Albany Road Difference


Albany Road utilized various, albeit complimentary investment strategies and distinctive competitive differentiators to accomplish our overall mission statement, as outlined below:

  • Local Experience

    Real estate is a local business, and our firm is set up accordingly. Our offices in Boston, Nashville, Dallas, and Denver, allow our senior professionals to take advantage of their local knowledge, experience, and the relationships they’ve developed over their careers.

  • Deal Size

    We generally pursue investment opportunities priced in the $10MM - $50MM range, which we view as inefficient, yet fertile, space in which to operate. The deal size is typically too small for major institutions to focus on yet too large for the typical private operator to tackle.

  • Forward Thinking

    We believe we are adroit at seeing opportunities ahead of others and capitalizing on them, such as being early to recognize (aggregation) opportunities in the self-storage and medical office space. We also expanded our platform to the Southeast/Sunbelt years ago to take advantage of the outsized population and employment growth in these “right to work” states.

  • Diversification

    To help mitigate investment risk, Albany Road invests across a wide range of geographies, product types, and tenant profiles. We are currently (and historically) focused on the industrial (warehouse, distribution, flex, and R&D) and office (medical, flex, and suburban) space. Over the past few years, we expanded our focus and added Industrial Outdoor Storage and Athletic Facilities to our product mix.

  • Alignment of Interest

    The partners and employees of Albany Road have committed over $85MM alongside our investors across all syndicated investments and funds. The level of investment aligns interests and creates a relationship with our investors as partners, not simply clients.

  • Reporting & Transparency

    We provide what we consider to be best-in-class reporting, transparency, and communication. Albany Road’s partners and employees have worked across a broad spectrum of (1) smaller, entrepreneurial real estate firms, (2) family offices, and (3) large-scale institutions, and we believe have amalgamated the best practices and procedures from each experience.

  • Execution Capability

    With discretionary equity at our disposal, we believe this gives us a differentiator over competitors who need to either syndicate their equity or align themselves with an institutional joint venture partner, while also arranging acquisition financing necessary to close. We define this differentiator as our ability to “execute institutionally in non-institutional space.”

  • Prudent Borrowers

    As tax-advantaged, yield-focused buyers, the debt we employ is paramount. We are prudent borrowers and have developed strong relationships across a wide spectrum of the lender universe (local, regional, and national banks, life companies, private credit, and securitized lenders), many of whom are willing to follow us to different geographies.
